SportsDay columnist Rick Gosselin joined Norm Hitzges on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket this week. Here are some highlights:

On Tony Romo not being in the top 100:Gosselin: Well, break it down individually. The players were asked to vote on the top 20 in their mind. Romo wouldn’t be in the top 20 on most lists – on many lists. I think the back end of the top 100 are stragglers, guys that might appear on a dozen or so of the ballots. After about 40, I think you could throw all those guys in a hat. The bottom line is he hasn’t won in the playoffs, the Cowboys haven’t been a playoff team. I think that works against him. But on a ballot of top 20, I wouldn’t expect Romo to appear on 60 percent of the ballots.

On Cam Newton being in the top 50:Gosselin: Well, let’s say four or five people put him on. I don’t know if they don’t allow you to vote for teammates or what, but both he and [Matthew] Stafford were put there based on their upside. And I think that’s legitimate. Both of those guys have the best years of their careers ahead of them. I don’t think that’s necessarily the case with Tony Romo.
